#MastodonAdmin I am getting hundreds of new (fake or robot) signups daily. I am denying all of them - maybe some of them are legitimate, but it would take hours to go through them - they are writing reasons for signing up. Most of them completely irrelevant for my instance, but some of them have made an effort to provide a relevant reason.
Anyways, I think I'll need to just close for new accounts. Or is there some way I can filter the robots from the humans?

@jeppe I don't think there's a perfect solution, but maybe it could be an idea to make the instance invite-only, and then write in the instance description to send you an e-mail to request an invite?

@jeppe Tweak the signup rules to require the word 'kartoffelmadder' as the first thing?
